The first …

Don’t Rush is a song off of Tegan and Sara’s latest album Sainthood, released in 2009. It’s one of my favourites off of this album, although the entire album as a whole is very enjoyable. This song is different from some of their previous songs in that it’s a …

Attila is a metal band and they are pretty cool in so many ways and the main reason for me liking who they are would have to be that they make songs that are awesome. Songs such as deuce deuce and let me get a Newport are catchy songs …
